Another Thai criminal genius,look at him lifting the laptop,unless it is a hidden camera there would be a small generally red light,but the dork looks in the other direction,who was the fence no doubt a relative.

Looks like a pinhole security camera.  Probably installed by boss to spy on employees to see if they are at work!

AUD is trading low because of global economic issues. 

AUD is trading low to baht because of still-inflated baht valuation.

There's some great Mexican restaurants in PI.

It's odd because Vietnam and Cambodia have great Indian restaurants.

 

No.  That isn't Mexican food, that's Tex-Mex.

And the reason why Indian food is so good in SE Asia (and China) is because the people cooking it are actually Indian.

There are certainly not hundreds of Chinese passing through Nong Khai daily.   We arrived back in Khon Kaen this afternoon after a three day break in Nong Khai.  The town is deserted.  You can see from one end of Tasadet market to the other.  You could stand in the middle of the road outside the main post office and a couple of bikes might go round you, but you would be in no danger from vehicles.  The promenade walk along the river front is empty.  One of the  big restaurants  on the river front is closed, the other one, Daeng, so-so busy, but only with locals.  Face masks useage is  virtually non-existant.

 

All this as a result of the poor economy or the virus?  I don't know.

The Chinese are not travelling yet, many still refuse to return to their jobs even though the State is pushing them to return.  They certainly are not thinking about vacationing right now.  There is real concern about China economy and saving money, plus their employers are not approving vacations.

Just a way to pad hotel income since actual travellers have declined so much.  Will probably bill AOT high season rates!

Any "Infection Control Doctors", or any Doctors on this Command and Control committee?

Only the very best!  ...drawn from a pool of the PM's relatives!

Do the math, continental Europe has 20x the total number of infected than the USA.

Spain, Germany and France all have 2-3x the infected as the US.  Italy -fugettaboutit!

What frustrates me most is no disinfection spray to buy.

Huh?  You can't find sanitizers?

Make your own.  2/3 91% alcohol to 1/3 aloe vera gel for hand sanitizer.  Final solution needs to be 70%+ alcohol.

Spray sanitizer: bleach+water.  

Area surfaces: 1/2cup to gallon water

Food surfaces: 2 teaspoons to gallon water

Probably was a wee lass, and the awning was able to break her fall.  If it was a fatty farang, most likely would have killed her & the 7-11 employee below!

cada33, what is your nationality?  Knowing this would make everything easier since there are still many visa exempt nations -as long as you aren't S. Korean, Italian, from HK...

Ps. I just took a look at your other posts, seems like you're trying to hide something about your nationality or current health.

Someone please explain to me whether these illegal workers are self-deporting from ROK due to covid-19 fears, or have they been forced to return?  This has not been made clear by the media.

Since many are agricultural workers, I just can't see the farms suddenly stopping production and letting crops fail.

Thailand needs to tell italy and America its secret Covid prevention strategy. 800 + dead in Italy and yet Thailand has only 59 reported cases despite the vast numbers of Chinese visitors to Thailand in December and January. Or is this the most fatal con trick of all time? Unforgivable

Why attack America?  In terms of infections & dead, it is still among the lowest.  

If you look at TOTAL infected for Europe vs North America, Europe has 20X the infection rate of the USA.

The US was early in halting all travellers from China, which helped greatly but its infections then came from Europeans and Mexico.then

I've used ozone generators at home and back when I kept reef tanks so I'm not skeptical, but I do have practical questions.

1.  Rather than drafting O3 by placing behind the fan, why not put your generator in front of the fan for total dispersal?  Seems more efficient to push all of the O3 with the fan rather than lose some by being behind it.

2.  I know you say to leave the room when operating but by the looks of the simple switch, do you have to go back inside to turn it off?  Perhaps you have an extension cord?

Since China imports Chinese laborers for Belt & Road construction, they are welcome to find all those Chinese landmines they freely gifted to the Khmer Rouge and Hun Sen factions over the decades and which are still present throughout the countryside.

Once that Daegu cult agreed to release their membership list, the ROKs had something to work with in chasing down potential cases.

IF things are so great and safe, why did Thai PBS report that Thai health officials are investigating 300-400 suspected covid-19 infected per day?

How many will take the Covid-19 back on board with them after their R&R to Pattaya and other places visited here in Thailand .

I believe the USN will be maintaining quarantine of each ship as they sail back to home port.  The sailors will be too broke after Pattaya to go anywhere anyway!

I bet the Chinese were keeping a close watch!

Of course!  This was a show put-on specifically for China.

This is bang on. Far less common to a Chinese girl marry a Westerner than it is for Thais. 

 

They believe in their racial purity and racial superiority. It has been drummed into them from centuries and centuries of propaganda. 

 

 

Boy are you wrong.  Where did you get this bit from?

As a nation, the Chinese are proud of where they are now, especially after ~100 years of humiliation from Western colonialism. 

BUT, if you know any history, China has been accepting and absorbing outside cultures for over 2 millenia.

They are all being requested to go into quarantine for 14 days.

Yep.  That'll take care of everything.

Yep, betcha that hotel owed lots of creditors, yet their insurance was paid in full!

Sunlight (UVs) and high temperatures do kill viruses, BUT it has not been determined whether humidity has any affect on covid-19.

I'm sure most of you aren't aware, but Wuhan, China has an average humidity of 80% 12-months a year.

How can anyone tell what they have with the level of toxic irritants in the air?  I think respiratory ailments are common place in every city in Thailand.
